Fuck, I hoped it would flop so early adopters like me get another Ambassador Program.
3DS's ambassador program was some GBA games that ended up being an entrypoint into pirates getting GBA support wholesale, Switch 2 ambassador program would probably be a free year of NSO Expansion Pack or some shit
>>739321293>NintendoMarket leader gonna market lead.
Based I was hoping they'd flop so they wouldn't remove gold points. They already had to price digital game down recently so it's a good start
>>739321293just stop being brown bro
>>739321293If this were the 2000s or 10s, this piece of shit would have been a Wii U-tier flop and Nintendo would have been grievously punished for their abhorrent recent practices.The modern gamer is simply too much of a consoomer. Nothing's ever going to get better as long as there are people to reward this behavior. We need a Tendie genocide right now.
>>739321293How is Mario Kart World for free, not an ambassador program? the console is going to be $500 for the base model in two months.
>>739321293It's about to eat shit after the price hikes. That 11% better is going to plummet into the negatives.
>>739321293>modern Nintendo>Ambassador ProgramModern Nintendo would just give you the finger and find some other way to jew their most faithful to make up for lost profit.
>>7393226672moarweeks
>>739322667Here is something you dont knowThe $499 Switch 2 massively outsold the $449 one.
>>739323585Because MK was $80 otherwise.
>>739321293Only reason I got a Switch 2 was becausr I was able to snag that Wppt deal on them for $400. That said, it is a lot better of a console design and weight-wise than the Switch 1. $400 should had been the initial release price, but more importantly the Switch 2 needs FUN ORIGINAL VIDEO GAMES! This whole console is just coasting off of the Switch 1's llibrary which in turn was coasting off of the WII U's library. Banaza is boring shit, MKW is worse than MK8D and Pokeopia(whatever) is just a reskin of Dragon Quest Builders. There are no good original games exclusive to the switch for people that actually like video games. That said, I need to play that Bakeru game I got due to circumstances since it plays at almost perfect 60fps on Switch 2 iirc. However, I've been playing Project X Zone for the first time since I did on its release, that battle system is addicting.
>>739321293Nintendo's current sales projection (16.5M) is still less than what Switch 1 did in its second fiscal year (16.9M). Its probably gonna trail behind Switch 1 and then the gap will be huge when we are in Year 3/4 when Switch 1 got its COVID boost. Biggest thing is their games aren't selling near as well as they used to. I think that is going to be the biggest wake up call to Nintendo is they aren't going to get those Switch 1 sales where everything breaks records. Its really the slow decline of gaming. Some games do well, but there are more flops and they get more expensive. Nintendo will have a lot more sub 1 million titles this generation.
>>739324101This Fall is a new Miyazaki Fromsoft game, OoT Remake. Next year is a new Mario and Pokemon (that actually might have some production value) if those games don't sell, this industry and the gamers that make it up are super cucked.
>>739323774You dont get it do you? The best selling Switch 1 was the more expensive one. Look it up. Switch 2 sales are NOT going to slow down. They are going to go nuclear when Pokemon Wind and Waves drop, and that's still just the beginning. You have been warned.
>>739324101Nintendo always lowball their projections. You still falling for their trap? LMAO.
I was hoping it would fail so they would be forced to make good games again(they did with pokopia and tomodachi life but I want more)
>>739325917I was hoping it would fail so Nintendo would be forced to stop censoring my otaku games, but I suppose we're never going to get games like this on Nintendo consoles uncensored ever again.
>>739326047It was never going to happen because of payment processors. In fact it would not surprise me if Nintendo region locks the international system via system update to prevent you from playing uncensored imported games because of payment processors.
>>739321293>11% betterYou know whats worse than a paid shill? a non paid shill
>>739327620That would require them to stop accepting credit cards on the JP eshop, and I don't see a normalfag-friendly store ever even considering that. DLSite only did it because doujins and eroge are their specialty and their lifeline.Frankly, I don't think the payment processors particularly care about PG games, or they would have made Nintendo and Sony take down all those ecchi games they already accepted years ago. This is entirely because some suits think this makes the brand more palatable to normalfags.
>>739322551I got my switch 2 ober christmasMario kart bundle priced down to $450 and i bundled it with another promotion knocking it down to $420It was like i got paid $80 to get mario kart.
>>739324052>$400 should had been the initial release priceit would have been if not for Covid tanking the economy
>>739324101>Nintendo's current sales projection (16.5M) is still less than what Switch 1 did in its second fiscal year (16.9M).Which means it will exceed expectations.
>>739328345Nice bro, I got it 2 months after launch for full price. I will still feel like Mario Kart was free after the price increases at retail.
>>739321475>that ended up being an entrypoint into pirates getting GBA support wholesaleWhy are you trying to frame this as bad?
>>739322667>Its about to homelander.
>>739321293>would flopit did flop
>>739328413By dropping off in its second year on the market, an abnormal occurrence.
>>739322502I can tell from this post you weren't alive in the 00s or 10s.
>>739328491Jeets and Russians playing games is always a bad thing.
>>739328491You are the only person in this thread that thinks that was bad framing
>>739326047Meanwhile, Nintendo allowing AI Hentai Puzzler #999 onto their eshop.
>>739321293But was it the best selling in November 2025? Checkmate atheists.
>>739324101>tranime
>>739328062Then we're just going to have to come up with a hardware platform off of main brand systems to play uncensored Japanese games then.
>>739329545And not so much as a single bare titty to be found. Whatever happened to the nintendo seal of quality.
>>739330343It's called a PC.
>>739327620Payment processors don't give a damn about what Nintendo censors, Nintendo censors the tamest shit.
>>739322502You're an idiot then because most people saw the wii u as another wii accessory back then because nintendo's advertising was abysmal. Not to mention multiple other problems the wii u had.
>>739324101>i think that is going to be the biggest wake up call to nintendo is they aren't going to get those switch 1 salesThey already got that wake up call after Tennis, despite being one of the best in the series, ate absolute shit. It's why practically every price point we've gotten since have been below that $70 tag
>>739321293we're never gonna get a good first party eshop sale, are we?
>>739331245You realized this now?
>>739331558i'm in a constant state of re-realising this
>>739321293I was told it was flopping bros...
>>739321293All consoles should have ambassador programs for early adopters. Early adopters of consoles are some of the dumbest consumers in the history of consumption. I will give switch 2 owners credit, as some of them did predict the already outragous price might potentially be increased. but that is an excption, not the rule. Buying a console at launch is always a bad deal.
>>739322502>If this were the 2000s or 10s, this piece of shit would have been a Wii U-tier flop and Nintendo would have been grievously punished for their abhorrent recent practices...... such as?
>>739322551When did you get free copy of mario kart world?
>>739328858Im also the only person who responded to you.
>>739332302They don't discount their games to 37 dollars after 6 months and that makes me mad
>>739321293Actually insane that people are buying tomodachi. I emulated it and got bored after like 3 days of playing. The married miis don't even share the same room let alone bed
>>739322502The reality is people are stupid and the masses are cattle. The Wii U failed because even /v/ was confused what it was when they revealed it, normalfags had no chance.The average person doesn't know or care how heinous Nintendo is, they see the marketing and they look at the price and that's it.
>>739332650Heinous is a strong word, what do they do that is so heinous?
>>739322502If it were 2006 a Gamecube 2 would have did numbers, so, you're dumb.
>>739332527the only reason why I buy nintendo games at all is because they retain decent value and if you buy a 70 dollar game and finish playing it, Even years later you can still get 50-60 bucks back. You buy Some sony marvel 80 dollar game, It's 20-30 dollars in an a year to a year and a half.
>>739324401>if from shovelware, a bastardized demake and the absolute state of modern pokemon don't sell the industry is super cuckedFunny way of saying saved.
>>739332716It's apt. And I am sure you've heard it all before.
>>739332302They charged money for games and my favorite youtuber said this was anti consumer
>>739332881So, nothing particularly heinous then?
>>739333056Depends on your tolerance for heinous. I can think of a lot and neither of us will change each other's mind.
>>739332217Launch consoles are always the most vulnerable to exploits
>>739333239It really is just is because you can't buy Pokémon Mystery Dungeon DX for 20 bucks after 6 years isn't it
>>739333401What? I can get that game for free right now and I have no desire to.
>>739322029>Nintendo would have been grievously punished for their abhorrent recent practices.Which youtuber told you Nintendo has abhorrent recent practices?
>>739333517Okay, so what is so heinous that they do?
>>739333607You want an example so bad, fine. Suing Palworld and patent trolling over basic game mechanics. NDF go, but I'm not going to engage, I'm not that bored.
>>739333803Which youtuber told you it was patent trolling and over basic mechanics?
>>739333905What a shockingly unpredictable response.
>>739333965I'm giving you and out anon. You were mislead by a grifter who hates Nintendo. You are wrong, and this is a fact. I'm just curious about why you're wrong. Who was your source? Feel free to stop replying if this line of questioning is too uncomfortable for you.
>>739334252Thank you for your very genuine concern, but I can think for myself. Last reply, have at it.
>>739332379Anon, he's pretending to be retarded.
>>739321293In sweden its flopping hard still. Costs 500-600$ there along with the big Nintendo games at 80-90$.. It has gone so bad that some stores have been selling Switch 2 for 300$ on sale
>>739334357Glad to be done speaking with you.
>>739334252I noticed you can't actually defend that it's not shitty so you resort to this faggotry. Just want to point out it make you look very gay and pathetic.
>>739321293An Ambassador Program when the fags at Nintendo haven’t even released Sunshine on NSO yet?
>>739334578Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. Just one question, which youtuber told you it was "shitty"?
>>739332217Being coerced into buying a product you don't actually want yet (and may never want) based on the threat of a future price increase is still stupid. That's a corporation's wet dream.
>>739334986I know you do you seem to take other people's opinions very very seriously.
>>739326047Consoles are the absolute worst place for japanese games anyway, especially now that they're all dog piling onto pc.
>>739335090Not really, no.
>>739322502Switch 2 and Switch both are miles better than Wii U and the dogshit that was Wii>But muh shop channel music and muh avatar maker and muh miiverseNot a good game or a library
>>739332302Patent trolling and aggressive lawfare against competitors and fan projectsPrioritizing gay Hollywood blockbusters over gamesNew console has barely any games worth playing and Nintendo's support for it has been lackadaisical (in large part because of the aforementioned prioritizing of movies)New games becoming generic-looking UE5 realism slop (Star Fox)Rampant censorship of Japanese gamesFully embracing "woke" ideology with pronouns and non-binary options as well as increasing numbers of browns and minorities in gamesIn short, Nintendo is becoming Sony 2.0. and the same practices tendies ripped into Sony for, they are now defending as if their lives depended on it now that Nintendo's doing it, because in the end it wasn't based in any real principles or sincere criticism but brand loyalty, a phenomenon that has become more and more prominent as people make brands their identities in the social media age.
>>739335559Which youtuber told you Nintendo is patent trolling?
>>739335489Switch was soulless, Switch 2 is dogshitSwitch wouldn't even be half the system it is without WiiU games
>>739335675ur momshe hates you by the way, you disappoint her every day

>>739335796Notice how in your projection you didn't say "parents" because your dad left you.
>>739335886>That's a lieStopped reading there. You lot are truly pathetic.
>>739335969You'll survive.
>>739335923I miss when Nintendo actually seemed to give a shit and wasn't just trying fuck everyone over, run by a worthless suit.

>>739321293What games are even out that get people to buy the console?I know Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, and now Tomodachi.
>>739322502The success of the Switch set them up for the foreseeable future. They can do whatever the fuck they want and get away with it.

>>739340028I've been buying analogue systems and accessories left and rightMoney's not the issue, but I know cultists have no real defense to modern nintendo criticism besides >YOU'RE POOR! POSSIBLY BROWN! I DID IT, I TOTALLY GOT 'EMwhy don't you re-up your nso for the shareholders like a good paypiggy
The Switch 2 is the first console where I'm told if I buy it I hate Nintendo games.
>>739340141I'm sorry that bothers you. How would you prefer I respond to your criticisms?
>>739337449Switch 1 had supply issues in its first year. The Switch 2 had the opposite situation, where a fuckton of stock was hoarded up. Switch 2 will slowly lose its lead until next year, which was when Switch 1 started to get stuff like Smash.
>>739340383If you grew up to watch the rise and fall of gaming (as a whole, not just nintendo), you'd be pissed and have beef too. Not engaging with your condescending and misguided superior tone any further
>>739340678Must not be true since gaming in 2026 is the best it's ever been (as a whole, not just Nintendo). I'm sorry you're angry all the time and suicidal. This isn't my problem. coddling your sensitive ego is your mom's job, NEET.
I bought one and didn't get a single Switch 2 game. Still waiting for a single game worth buying. Not paying more than $30 for Kirby Air Riders.
The schizo really likes to use the word "abhorrent" for some reason
>>739339558well its not only that times are changing its no longer worth a shit to chase graphic fidelity Nintendo gambit actually payed off. They fucking Won, the industry and the people in it are realizing that graphics maxxing is retarded and simply making a stable game with a good artstyle is the key to sales, the Age of Realisim is over.
>>739342030Not that guy but is the rest of the industry even ditching realistic looking games? (not including indie games)
>>739324994>>739328413The Switch's 2nd year projection was 20 million. It was then dropped to 17 million and they still missed it when it sold 16.9 million. They also missed this year's Switch 1 projection (they projected 4.5 million and it did 3.8)
>>739342368there are a few notable people commenting but the talk is starting to spread, people are noticing the deminishing returns now graphics have peaked techwise and moneywise.
>>739342030he tried to warn everybody. though no one was expecting the who ai ram issue to pop up
>>739335559>Nintendo is becoming Sony 2.0I dont see it. They dont make Cinematic movie slop almost exclusively like sony does. Nintendo still makes games of every variety and gameplay type. They still have Fire Emblem, Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, Xenoblade, F-Zero, Kirby, Bayonetta, ect ect. Switch 2, though it has no games I'm personally Interested in, has a deeper software offering than anything sony or microsoft has done in the past 15 years. Which is sad because theres like 6 or 7 exclusives. but that's still more than xbox (one-series x) or playstation(3-5)
>>739339738Most of those are multi-platform though.
>>739340559>The Switch 2 had the opposite situation, where a fuckton of stock was hoarded up. Switch 2 will slowly lose its lead until next year, which was when Switch 1 started to get stuff like Smash.Switch will have smash before the end of next year.
>>739335559>Patent trolling and aggressive lawfare against competitors and fan projectsTrue, but this isn't really a new practice for them. It was happening in the 2010s, at least.>Prioritizing gay Hollywood blockbusters over gamesThey outsource all their movie production and so far have just relegated Miyamoto to the role of consultant. I fail to see how this would count as prioritizing Hollywood over games, especially when they're still managing to release one exclusive a month>New console has barely any games worth playing and Nintendo's support for it has been lackadaisical (in large part because of the aforementioned prioritizing of movies)Subjective, but fair enough. They've been unevenly releasing games targetted towards a casual demographic since the start of the year, at least.>New games becoming generic-looking UE5 realism slop (Star Fox)I sort-of get where you're coming from, but: 1) Star Fox is the only example I can think of so you can't even describe it as a pattern yet, and 2) SF shoots for realism, sure, but I wouldn't describe the aesthetics of the characters as generic. They're all a bit...off. The other points you're right about, and I don't care to go to bat for the Bing Bing Wahoo company over them.
>>739334427Irony at its finest, retard.
>>739335489>2026>still pretending the Wii U was badfor why
>>739342368> is the rest of the industry even ditching realistic looking games?ditching? Not exactly. The industry is facing a crossroads. huges projects with high graphical fidelity are failing to meet sales expectations because they simply cost to much, and take too long to make. They need to find that happy medium, The scale can't just keep sliding, Games just keep costing more and taking longer to make. Chasing Power is over. it would always reach a breaking point where returns diminish. graphics don't need to be better. games already don't run at 60 fps in 1080p on consoles.
>>739321293I don't get it, /v/ made countless threads about the switch 2 flopping and asking why no one bought it!How could this be !!??
>>739324401New Pokemon doesn't have production value, just a move to Unreal engine.
>>739343297>>739345049But where/what are the big games (not including Nintendo and indies) that aren't realistic?
